Mini Cinnis

Sorry for the break in posts! My family has been on vacation in South Carolina enjoying the beach, but now we are back and going full speed ahead. Sports have started and after our first cross country practice I came home and made this delicious breakfast for my sister and I. The recipe is from The Baker Chick's Cinnamon Roll Muffins. I used the same recipe, but baked the rolls in two 8 inch circle pans instead of muffin tins. In the future I would like to make these again with a cream cheese frosting. The frosting recipe listed is super simple and fast, but is not as good as cream cheese icing.

CINNAMON ROLL MUFFINS

1 cup milk

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. vanilla

1 egg

3 cups flour

FILLING

2 tbsp. butter

2/3 cup brown sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon


ICING

1 cup powdered sugar

2-3 tbsp. milk

Mix brown sugar, baking soda, salt, vanilla, and egg. Add the milk and then the flour. Mix until just combined.

Roll the dough out onto a floured surface, so that it forms a large rectangle that is about 1/4 inch thick. The size of the rectangle will vary, but just make sure the dough is a good thickness.

Spread the dough with room temperature butter and sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon filling. 

Roll the dough into a log and slice into 1 to 2 inch rounds. Place the rolls into a greased 8x8 pan, so that the rolls are almost all touching.

Bake at 375 for 15 minutes or until golden.

Mix the ingredients for the icing and drizzle over warm rolls.
